Firefox is re -designed to be fast, modern in 2025 and re -designed to run it and invite it later every day. We have always made your back on privacy, and still do. We think there should be a piece of browser software, on which you can rely on your back, pleasant to see and work basically with the web.
Is Firefox a reliable browser?
Firefox is considered a safe and private browser. By default, Firefox block is known by collecting third -party trackers, social media trackers, cryptmining scripts and fingerprintrs to collect your data.
Does Firefox use Google as a search engine?
Yes, Google pays heavy royalty to Mozilla/Firefox to create a default search engine in Firefox. The deal is approximately $ 400 million per year (till 2021–2022) and forms Mosilla’s vast majority of total revenue.
Is Firefox better than Google Chrome?
Firefox and Chrome are updated every few weeks, so it is difficult to compare them over time. At one point, the firefox has offered benefits on chrome in terms of the use of RAM, but this claim can go back and forth based on modification (and capacity for regression). Microsoft Edge and Apple’s safari have also made such claims, but in general all the browser are continuously improving and beating each other.
Firefox provides better privacy and adaptation capacity (to an extent) and is a solid browser with lots of ad-ons available. If you want the best adaptability on the stock browser, then you should also check the vyldi (chromium -based).
Who is the owner of Firefox?
The firefox is developed by the Mozilla Foundation, a US-based non-profit that operates and controls the Mozilla project.
Is the firefox based on chromium?
No, Firefox is not based on chromium. In fact, the firefox is one of the last major browsers who are not. The firefox runs on its own quantum browser engine.

A smooth, clean firefox design supported by research
On going to Firefox Redigine, our team studied how people interact with the browser, observe their patterns and behaviors. We heard the response and gathered ideas from regular people, who just want an easy experience on the web. We distracted, wasted excess clicks and time. The resulting new design is simple, modern and sharp and provides a beautiful experience to support the most people in firefox.
Streamlined toolbar and menu
The toolbar is naturally where you start every web visit. This is the place where you type an URL to go somewhere online. After the web page content, this is what you see the most in the firefox. The new toolbar is simple and dislocated so that you easily get good goods.
The menu are those where major firefox actions and commands remain. We have consolidated the additional menu to reduce the chaos and are more comfortable through the menu thrice by right-clicking to activate it on the upper right or on your computer screen. The new look reorganized and streamlined our menu to take the best action on its fingers.
When the confidentiality protection is engaged in the firefox, the shield icon in the toolbar microscopically indicates that we are working behind the curtain to protect you from Naki trackers. Funny facts: Firefox has blocked more than 6 trillions — It is a trillion with a T — After trackers we roll the increased tracking security, thousands of companies stop watching your online activity .. We are talking about cookies, social media trackers, fingerprinters and more tracking. Go ahead and click on Shield to see who and what firefox is blocked … you can be surprised by what you know.
A new look for tab
Based on our research, we came to know that more than half of you have 4+ tabs at all times, and some of you are more, much more. And we think that! As much as you want, friends. The tabs found a makeover, so they are now slowly curved and float over the toolbar. It is an exciting change that also acts as a reminder that is not stable tab. So grab those tabs, move them around and arrange them as per your wish. When the tab is active, a glow-up was found to be a touch bright.
